    “The UN’s international court of justice (ICJ) has ordered Israel to end its occupation of the Palestinian territories “as rapidly as possible” and make full reparations for its “internationally wrongful acts” in a sweeping and damning advisory opinion that says the occupation violates international law.”

    Good. Now seize Israeli assets, the same as Russians - and use these to rebuild Palestine.

      Not until the US stops backing Israel. I pray for Trump to win, just so that the world wakes up from its current trance by the US elite, which managed to sell everybody the “American dream” and destabilize the entire world.

        You must’ve forgotten that he was already president once.

          Yes, and that did help a little. Are you not aware of the EU Digital Markets Act, BRICS, China’s increased efforts to get rid of Microsoft, Apple and other tech giants?

        You must be thinking of a different Trump. The one we have in America is a senile, diaper wearing old man who couldn’t even run a casino profitably and asked a medical professional if a possible cure for COVID was shoving a UV light up his own ass.

          Not the country. Trump has shown that he doesn’t know how to run a business. He droves so many things into the ground. If breaks more ties, steps out of more agreements like the Paris Climate Agreement, Iranian Nuclear Deal, and more, he will continue to show how much the world depends on the US - unrightfully so.

        So, let me get this straight. You think a Trump win will ensure that the US will stop backing Israel?

          Probably not. To him, probably one more dead muzzie is a worthwhile goal to strive for. But do you think him being surrounded by people screaming “a country unable to defend itself shouldn’t get our support” and broad support from people who hate Jews is going to play well for long?

            I’m really disheartened by the concept of democracy sometimes when I encounter certain voters.

              Tell me about it. Trump would’ve never been on the ticket if republicans had a backbone, nor would Biden if democrats didn’t blindly vote for whatever candidate the DNC backed. But maybe things have to get worse before they get better.

        How

        legit, how?

        Gaza is so full of people that Israel will always screech about human shields while flattening hospitals, but what should Palestinian resistance fighters do? Leave Gaza, and meet Israel on an open field? That won’t end well

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The top United Nations court has ruled that Israel’s settlement policies and use of natural resources in the occupied Palestinian territories violate international law.

    The ICJ president, Nawaf Salam, was reading out the court’s full opinion in a Friday session expected to take about an hour.

    It has annexed East Jerusalem in a move that is not recognised internationally, while it withdrew from Gaza in 2005 but maintained a blockade of the territory after Hamas took power in 2007.

    It submitted written comments, saying that the questions put to the court were prejudiced and “fail to recognise Israel’s right and duty to protect its citizens”, address Israeli security concerns or acknowledge Israel-Palestinian agreements to negotiate issues, including “the permanent status of the territory, security arrangements, settlements, and borders”.

    Palestinian residents of the city face systematic discrimination, making it difficult for them to build new homes or expand existing ones.

    The international community considers all settlements to be illegal or obstacles to peace since they are built on lands sought by the Palestinians for their state.

    The “UN Court” has zero jurisdiction and is the equivalent of a clown court.
